[Gnumed-devel] Clarificaation re 'pretty crappy' mims stuff in Asia

[Richard Terry]

Be more specific about 'pretty crappy' and the 'source of information'.

Mims drug data and associated decision support products are extremely good.

What is not good IMHO was 'MImsScript' - a failed australian GP software 
program which I have vague recollections may have escaped into Asia some 
years ago. It was written by a canberra company, and Mims became historically 
associated with it. When the french parent company pulled the pin on the 
software, Mims dropped it and it is no longer used here.

They may have been involved with hospital software of course, and there may be 
hospital software I'm not aware of, but don't knock their drug and 
interaction data which is top rate.

The interaction data BTW was compiled/maintained by the medical 
pharmacologists at Newcastle here for some time, though I don't know where it 
is sourced now.
